| a standardization of microfilarial densities for epidemiological comparisons in periodic bancroftian filariasis. | microfilarial density in the peripheral blood changes with time. the average concentration in a population can only be calculated if the influence of circadian periodicity is eliminated from individual measurements. a transformation of the harmonic wave formula, describing the time dependent changes in density allows to calculate the number of microfilariae at the peak of the curve from the number observed at the time of examination. the equation was tested for strains of wuchereria bancrofti fr ... | 1978 | 347652 |
| failure of diethylcarbamazine as a provocative test in subperiodic wuchereria bancrofti filariasis. | the effect of diethylcarbamazine (dec) on levels of microfilaraemia in 70 patients with subperiodic, pacific-variant wuchereria bancrofti infection was studied one hour after oral administration of 5 mg/kg of drug. in contrast to the immediate dec-induced increase in microfilaraemia which had been previously described in patients with nocturnally periodic filariasis, diethylcarbamazine failed to elicit such a response in patients with subperiodic bancrofti infection. indeed, one hour after oral ... | 1978 | 345536 |

| the effect of diethylcarbamazine treatment on the development of bancroftian microfilariae in culex p. fatigans. | bancroftian microfilarie survived after one to three courses of diethylcarbamazine treatment in carriers and the larvae able to reach the infective stage in culex p. fatigans. the infection rate and the development of infective larvae per infected mosquito from dec-treated carriers was much lower than from the untreated carrier. the fact that surving mf can develop to infective stage in their vector indicates that such filarial carriers may be important sources for transmission of filariasis in ... | 1977 | 329427 |
| the survival in nature of wuchereia-infected anopheles funestus giles in north-eastern tanzania. | hungry anopheles funestus females were caught in cdc light traps positioned overnight in village houses in which the occupants were protected by bed nets. the sampling was performed in six huts near muheza, in north-eastern tanzania, september to november 1972. parous, unfed mosquitoes were carefully examined, usually under phase-contrast optics, for the presence of developing wuchereria bancrofti larvae. because a. funestus seek blood meals at three-day intervals, most filariae were three, six, ... | 1977 | 327630 |

| epidemiological investigations of bancroftian filariasis in the coastal zone liberia. | a survey in 5 study areas along the liberian coast was conducted to gain information on the prevalence and importance of bancroftian filariasis. the examination of 2675 persons revealed prevalence rates between 2% and 37%. the median microfilarial densities (mfd50) ranged from 5 to 24 microfilariae in 20 mm3 capillary blood taken between 20.30 hours and midnight. catalytic curves fitted to age-specific infection rates were used to estimate incidence (1% to 3%) and recovery rates. it was extrapo ... | 1977 | 324055 |
| on the inheritance of susceptibility for infection with wuchereria bancrofti in culex pipiens fatigans. | from a colony of c.p.fatigans from monrovia showing 21.6% susceptibility of w. bancrofti a refractory strain could be selected but not a highly susceptible one. experiments to select a refractory strain out of the highly susceptible colony from delhi failed. from these results and those of the crossing experiments between the selected refractory strain from monrovia and the delhi colony it appears that in the mosquito population from monrovia susceptibility for w. bancrofti is not dominating ref ... | 1977 | 324054 |
| sensitivity and specificity of skin reactivity to brugia malayi and dirofilaria immitis antigens in bancroftian and malayan filariasis in the philippines. | saline antigen extracts of microfilariae, adult worms and third-stage larvae of subperiodic brugia malayi maintained in gerbils were prepared for use as skin test reagents. patients were studied on three different islands in the philippines, one endemic for bancroftian filariasis (sorsogon, luzon), another endemic for malayan filariasis (palawan) and the third without endemic filariasis (cebu). a dose-response curve was established initially in patients with bancroftian filariasis: thereafter 1. ... | 1977 | 322516 |

| tanzania filariasis project. survey methodology and clinical manifestations of bancroftian filariasis. | in a bancroftian filariasis survey on the coast of tanzania microfilaria rates rose with age reaching 53% in the 60-69 year group followed by a slight fall above this age. the most important clinical manifestations were hydrocoele, funiculitis and elephantiasis, with hydrocoele presenting the most serious public health problem. hydrocoele rates increased with age reaching 90% above the age of 70. the highest proportion of large hydrocoeles were also in the older age groups. a satisfactory method ... | 1979 | 44101 |
| bancroftian filariasis in a philippine village: entomological findings. | bancroftian filariasis in an isolated philippine village has been intensively investigated; this paper reports the entomological findings. surveys were carried out six months apart in the driest and wettest months. significant transmission was demonstrated only during the wet season. aedes poicillius was the major vector of wuchereria bancrofti. ae. poicilius accounted for 58% of larvae found in the axils of banana plants and 31% of those in abaca axils; negligible numbers of larvae of this spec ... | 1979 | 39349 |
| distribution and density of mosquitoes in two endemic areas for bancroftian filariasis in sorsogon, philippines. | mosquito density in rangas where abaca is in abundance is much higher, almost twice, than that of putiao where abaca is absent. the adult density of aedes poecilus over aedes ananae in the two areas combined is 3 to 4 times whereas the larval density of the former is much lower than aedes ananae. the banana axils is a favorite breeding place for aedes poecilus but may also utilize the abaca axils. this finding is very favorable in the transmission of bancroftian filariasis because this species o ... | 1978 | 34889 |

| distribution of acid phosphatase activity in the larval stages of wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi, b. pahangi and dirofilaria immitis in the mosquito. | the histochemical distribution of acid phosphatase in microfilariae and in the larval stages of four mosquito-borne filariae: wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi, b. pahangi and dirofilaria immitis was studied using naphthol as-tr-hexazonium technique and light microscopy. accurate differentiation between microfilariae of the four species could be made on the basis of their patterns of acid phosphatase activity. in contrast to microfilariae in the blood, the larval stages in the mosquito exhibit ... | 1977 | 16368 |
| theoretical considerations in the vector control of filariasis. | in order to assist in assessing progress of vector control of filariasis a theoretical model is constructed, using retrospective data on infected persons removed to a vector-free situation. this shows that the decrease of microfilaraemia is not regular, but is gradual for the first 3 years and then more rapid, reaching zero at about 10 years. an estimate is made of the level to which the vector must be reduced before transmission of filariasis ceases, showing that the degree of efficiency requir ... | 1975 | 5783 |
| vector control of filariasis in the solomon islands. | in solomon islands, filariasis is caused by the nocturnally perodic form of wuchereria bancrofti and is transmitted by the same vectors of malaria. this study explores the control of this disease as an additional effect of the malaria eradication programme. | 1975 | 3855 |
